The sellers of the home we are looking to purchase have appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Southampton who has suggested a preliminary contract with a payment 6,000. Are such contracts recommended for Southampton conveyancing transactions?

There are a couple of primary concerns with entering into any lock out contract (also referred to as a shut-out contract) is that it can distract from making progress with the conveyancing work, so unless it requires little or no negotiation then it may transpire to be unhelpful. It is not particularly popular amongst Southampton conveyancing solicitors for this reason. The other main concern is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted purchaser is very unlikely to be granted an injunction to stop the owner completing the sale to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the reimbursement of wasted costs and, in restricted situations, the additional payment of penalties.

three months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Southampton concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
